From the Curator’s Department

With the presentation of this Index Seminum No. 40-1998 we take the opportunity, as usual, to inform you on the latest developments in Utrecht University Botanic Gardens. Concerning our specializations, there has been a special attention to the Aceraceae and Bromeliaceae.

Aceraceae:

We have the honour to announce that our Botanic Gardens was asked for a second time to be the Host Garden for the Bursary of the International Dendrology Society. This Bursary for 1998 was generously donated by the I.D.S. to Dr. Cao Wei from Shenyang, China. He start his research for six month on July 1st. 1999., which will be devoted to our Aceraceae Project. Within the Section Platanoidea, the A. pictum - (A. mono) complex is the focal point of a D.N.A. research programme. The research within this Aceraceae Project will take place in a number of phases and we wish to thank the following organisations for their cooperation:

Dutch Botanic Gardens Foundation The Maple Society lUCN-SCC Temperate Broadleaved Trees Specialist Group Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI)

One of the goals will be the production of a survey of taxa of Aceraceae, currently considered threatened (IUCN Conservation Categories) present in the Western Botanic Gardens.

This list will be analised and completed with the threatened species native to Temperate Asia. Special emphasis will be put on specimens of recorded wild origin. In this respect we kindly request the help and support of our Chinese colleagues.

Bromeliaceae:

Many Bromeliaceae from the Guianas have been added to the collection to be studied in the framework of the research project “ Flora of the Guianas”. The Tillandsioideae as Subfamily of the Bromeliaceae is part of the National Plant Collection (NP). Because Curator Eric J. Gouda is amongst others currently involved in a scientific study on Bromeliaceae, it is evident that our Bromeliaceae Collections will increase dramatically in both size and quality.

Last but not least, the living collections have been enriched this year. Many new accessions from natural sources replaced accessions from cultivated origin, as part of the long-term collection strategy of replacing plants of cultivated origin for wild-collected stock.

Specializations

In the framework of the National Plant Collection (NP), Utrecht University Botanic Gardens are maintaining specializations on the following groups and taxa:

-Flora of the Neotropics: [eg] Flora of the Guianas, with special emphasis on: Bromeliaceae nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Orchidaceae Zingiberaceae

-Annonaceae (Research Collection) [EG]

-Conifers (esp. Tsuga) [JT]

-Broad-leaved hardy trees and shrubs: [jT]

Aceraceae nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Betulaceae nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Ericaceae

-Penstemon [EG]

-Lecanopteris [EG]

These specializations are given extra attention regarding verification, nomenclature, wild source material, etc.

We are especially interested in material from natural sources of the groups and taxa mentioned above. We have a cooperation with gardens with identical specializations. If you are interested, please contact us and we will provide additional information.

In brackets and bold are the initials given by whom of the curators is given special attention.

In general, the activities of the curators are divided in the following main groups: Jan Tolsma [jT]: Arboretum, Systematic Garden, Theme Garden and

Eric Gouda [EG]: Greenhouse Collections (focal point: Neotropical Collections) and the Rock Garden

Codes used

Explanation of provenance codes:

E= Seeds directly from natural source

S= Seeds derived from a plant in cultivation but from known natural source ( not necessarily Fl generation).

G= Seeds from a plant from an other Botanical Garden or Institute; not from known natural source.

K= Nursery origin; not from known natural source.

Verification:

The seeds in this list have been taken from verified plants and only if we were reasonably sure that cross-pollination with related species would be unlikely. Verification codes used: V=verified; I=identified; S=identified by specialist

Accession Numbers:

The first two digits indicate the year of registration. The next two characters are coding for the garden location or specific group of plants: GR=Green houses; BL=Rock Garden; ZG^Orig. Von Gimborn Arboretum; RD=Woody Plants; ZE=Annuals and Biennials. The other five digits are a sequence number.
